	Dolphin (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dolphin class of submarines of the Israeli Navy.
		In a translation from Russian, "Dolphin" may occur as a translation of the Russian name "Delfin", which means "dolphin", and is also a Russian commando frogmen unit and the name of a submarine.
		A fixed man-made structure which is not connected to shore and is used to berth vessels against (a berthing dolphin) or mooring vessels to (a mooring dolphin).

		The purpose of these submarines is to enable the Israel Navy to meet all the tasks faced in the Mediterranean Sea in the 21st century.
		According to some reports the submarines may be capable of carrying nuclear-armed Popeye Turbo cruise missiles, with a goal of deterring an enemy from trying to take out its nuclear weapons with a surprise attack.
		The 1,720-ton Dolphin class is evidently somewhat larger than the 1,500-ton Type 212 submarines, and incorporates a conventional diesel-electric propulsion system rather than the AIP system.

		The delivery of the submarine most likely is intended to complete a nuclear land-attack capability to deter the current crisis from descending into region-wide war or allow Israel to fight one, if necessary.
		Tekuma is the last of three Dolphin-class submarines, built and largely subsidized by Germany expressly for deployment by the Israeli navy in Mediterranean waters.
		Israel's eagerness to deploy the submarine probably is intended as a deterrent to regional war.

		The submarines cost $320 million each, and are twice as big as the aging Gal-class submarines that the Israeli navy has relied on to date.
		The Dolphin class submarines are equipped with an Elta surface search radar operating at I-band.
		The range of the submarine is 8,000 miles at a surface speed of eight knots and over 400 miles at an economical speed of 8 knots dived.

	WorldNetDaily: Israel steps up submarine acquisition
		According to earlier reports in the Jewish and Western press, Israel is engineering its submarines to become capable of launching conventional or nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, which would give the Israel Defense Force a multi-tiered, land-attack capability against an enemy, similar to one developed years ago by the United States and Russia.
		In June, reports surfaced that the Israeli navy was testing a land-attack submarine cruise missile capability off the coast of Sri Lanka.
		The Dolphin class is designed for interdiction, surveillance and special-forces operations and is designed to travel at maximum speeds of 20 knots with a cruising range of 4,500 nautical miles.

	OBERON class submarine
		These submarines were very quiet for their day, and stayed in service with various Navies past the year 2000.
		The final member of this class, HMS ONYX, was the only conventional submarine to see service in the Falkland's War of 1982, where she was used for special operations in and around the islands.
		Two unidentified OBERON class subs lie alongside; this is a good study in contrast, as the outside sub has recieved the new Triton sonar, while the inside (background) sub has not.

	Naval Technology - SSK Dolphin Class - Attack Submarine
		Israel's three Dolphin Class submarines were designed by Ingenieurkontor Lubeck Prof Gabler Nachf GmbH (IKL), a subsidiary of Howaldtswerke-Deutche Werft AG (HDW) based in Lubeck, Germany.
		A schedule had originally been planned for the construction of the three submarines by an industrial team consisting of HDW and Thyssen Nordseewerke, lead by Litton Ingalls Shipbuilding, but the project was cancelled in 1990.
		Following the Gulf crisis in 1990 and 1991, contracts were placed for the construction of the Dolphin and the Leviathan, to proceed with funding support from the German government.

	Submarines - Israel
		The detection that the submarines were equipped with two types of torpedo tubes (533mm and 650mm respectively) fueled speculation that the submarine might have a possible nuclear role, given that 533mm torpedo tubes would have been sufficient for the weaponry that was to be installed on board.
		When questioned about this in parliament, the German government confirmed the presence of the 650mm tubes in the Dolphin submarines but could not provide an explanation, other than that the tubes were to be fitted with liners upon delivery to reduce the tubes' diameters to 533mm.
		The German Green party, however, who had originally opposed the delivery of the first three dolphin submarines, demanded that, in the future, additional submarines could only be delivered to Israel on the basis of a binding assurance that they would not be used as nuclear weapons platforms.

		Whatever the missile currently arming Israel's Dolphin-class submarines, it seems clear that Israel is interested in the acquisition of new cruise missiles.
		Before obtaining the Dolphins, the IN depended upon three Gal-class submarines, designed by Germany for Israel, and constructed at the Vickers Shipyard in the United Kingdom in 1973-77.
		The Gals were decommissioned when the Dolphins were commissioned into the IN, and Israel had planned to sell the vessels.

	Submarine Insignia History
		Among the designs were a submarine and shark motif, a submarine and shield, and submarine and dolphins.
		It is the design in use today: a bow view of a submarine, proceeding on the surface, with bow planes rigged for diving, flanked by dolphins in a horizontal position with their heads resting on the upper edge of the bow planes.
		The submarine insignia was to be worn at all times by officers and men qualified in submarine duty attached to submarine units or organizations, ashore and afloat, and not to be worn when not attached.

		The cruise missile is said to have hit a target 900 miles from its launch point off the coast of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean, and may have a maximum range of 1,200 mile.
		The state-of-the-art, 1750-ton Dolphin diesel subs were supplied to Israel by Germany as near freebie `guilt payments' because Iraq used some German-made components in its military programs during the Gulf War.
		The Dolphin `roving launch platforms' also give Israel the ability to strike almost anywhere on the globe, and particularly against Iran and Pakistan, which Israel singles out as `long-range' enemies.

		The Dolphin-class submarine is reported to be equipped with torpedo tubes capable of launching cruise missiles carrying nuclear warheads.
		Submarines are the main platform for any second-strike capability because of the difficulty of locating them underwater, rendering them less vulnerable to an enemy first-strike.
		Because of their presumed survivability submarines were an essential element of the nuclear triad strategy (ground, air and sea-based) employed by both the Soviet Union and the US during the Cold War.

		Submarines aside (I think that Lux has an excellent point with regard to the relative virtues of nukes and non-nukes), one should remember that the last sighted DIA opinion about the TD-1 missile was a reply to "questions for the record" (QFRs) submitted to the Senate Intelligence Committee, dated 30 June 2003:
		Diesel submarines are not just for littoral operations; they are also quite effective open ocean platforms for operations against enemy SSNs and the sea-lanes of communication.
		I would agree with TLAM Strike that modern diesel submarines with their increasing technology mentioned are more usefull in deep water operations than the diesel boats of old.
